PEMDAS is not Division before Multiplication. I was taught Division then Multiplication.


They occur in order of left to right.


neither takes precident over the other.

It's not a fraction, though. You solve by:

Evaluating the parentheses: (1+2) = 3
Then by doing multiplication and/or division in a linear matter: 6/2*3 = 9.

You don't turn the entire equation into 6/(2*(1+2)), because that's a different equation. The ÷ doesn't denote it being a fraction, it simply means divide. A fraction, written out, is in this format:

(x+y)
-------
(a+b)

The 6÷2 itself is entirely separate from the (1+2).

P E MD AS

Similar sizes do not take precident over the other but occur in left to right fashion.

Peace im out.
